In Greek mythology, Mermerus (Ancient Greek: Μέρμερος, Mérmeros; Latin: Mermerus) was the son of Jason and Medea. He was killed either by the Corinthians[1][2] or by Medea,[3][4][5][6] for reasons that vary depending on the rendition. In one account, Mermerus was killed by a lioness while hunting.[7]
